I got 3 out of 4 correct. In the first two questions, the AI seemed easy to identify because of alien rhythmic patterns, not really because of melodic content. In the 3rd, the AI was identifiable because the piece, while pleasant, seemed to lack a plausible development of the idea (but this is something that easily could be ascribed to a second rate human composer). The one I got wrong, the AI composition was pretty good, and the human one had exactly the alien rhythmic patterns that to me were a giveaway for an AI composition. Weird composer or bad performance?

Do you have any examples of jazz compositions by your software? Would be very interested in hearing that.

There's a short snippet of a jazz composition from Clara near the top of the post.

Ah, thanks! Not entirely natural, but could marginally be passed off as "Thelonious Monk, having drunk one Espresso too many".
